Biofilms consist of microbial communities embedded in a 3D extracellular matrix. The matrix
is composed of a complex array of extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) that contribute …

Biofilms, present as microorganisms and surviving on surfaces, can increase food cross-
contamination, leading to changes in the food industry's cleaning and disinfection dynamics …

Biofilms are microbial aggregation membranes that are formed when microorganisms attach
to the surfaces of living or nonliving things. Importantly, biofilm properties provide …

Diverse microorganisms are able to grow on food matrixes and along food industry
infrastructures. This growth may give rise to biofilms. This review summarizes, on the one …

Surface hygiene is commonly measured as a part of the quality system of food processing
plants, but as the bacteria present are commonly not identified, their roles for food quality …

Antibiotic resistance, prompted by the overuse of antimicrobial agents, may arise from a
variety of mechanisms, particularly horizontal gene transfer of virulence and antibiotic …

Biofilms contain microbial cells which are protected by a self-produced matrix and they firmly
attach themselves to many different food industry surfaces. Due to this protection …

In 2023, Listeria monocytogenes persistence remains a problem in the food business. A
profound understanding of how this pathogen persists may lead to better aimed intervention …

This review examines the impact of microbial communities colonizing food processing
environments in the form of biofilms on food safety and food quality. The focus is both on …

A total of 130 isolates were screened, twelve isolates were characterized for probiotic
attributes and two isolates with best probiotic features were evaluated in the study. Isolates …
